Kerry Katona has said that ITV show Loose Women ‘ruined her marriage’ to ex-husband Brian McFadden.

The former Atomic Kitten singer, who shares two of her five children with Westlife star Brian, made the comment during a special episode marking the show’s 18th anniversary celebrations, as the panel looked back at their years on set.

Kerry recalled how during her very early appearances on the show, she’d always sing the praises of her other half, and then recalled an instance where a booking on the programme meant she’d had to leave him to attend a recording session on his own.

‘This one time Brian said to me, “I am going to record a new single with this girl called Delta Goodrem, will you come with me?” and I said, “I can’t I’m doing Loose Women,’ she explained.

‘Can you imagine, if I hadn’t come on this show I’d still be married. Loose Women ruined my marriage! Well, one of them!’ she added with a laugh.
